New Food Skills Workshop Kit from the Food Security Network

The Food Security Network (FSN-NL) has launched a new Food Skills Workshop Kit as part of the Root Cellars Rock initiative (www.rootcellarsrock.ca).

This is a new resource for community groups to host hands-on workshops building local food skills and preserving traditional food knowledge on 8 topics:

• container gardening
• composting
• seed saving
• edible wild plants
• cooking with local vegetables
• using culinary herbs
• canning/bottling
• storing food in root cellars

Each workshop guide includes information, resources, and activity guides covering each topic. FSN-NL would like to invite you to review the Food Skills Workshops and use them as a resource where beneficial.

The workshops are now available on the Root Cellars Rock website at http://rootcellarsrock.ca/food-skills-workshops/ or on the FSN website at http://www.foodsecuritynews.com/rcr-workshops.html.
